本研究欲探究基督徒在經歷關係的受傷後，如何在基督信仰的靈性經驗中展開饒恕的歷程，並探究其中可以促進基督徒饒恕的靈性因子，以了解基督徒如何在其信仰脈絡下運用這些因子展開饒恕歷程及其所帶來的意義。本研究以現象學研究針對五位熟悉基督教文化且對信仰有高度認同的基督徒進行訪談，欲探究基督徒在其特有的信仰脈絡中，如何經驗饒恕的歷程?饒恕對基督徒的人際和自我所帶來的意義與成長為何?基督徒如何運用基督宗教與靈性的因子面對關係中的傷害?有哪些靈性因子可以有助於基督徒選擇饒恕?並以張芬芬(2010)的質性資料分析模式進行分析，該模式主要是參考 Carney 在 1990 年提出的提升抽象層級的觀點，逐步從文字化、概念化、命題化、圖表化到理論化，如同階梯由下而上地將文本進行處理。結果發現五位研究參與者早先的信仰經歷可以轉化為因應關係傷害的重要資源，這樣的資源如同寶貴的資產可以幫助基督徒面對人際中受傷情緒的經驗，走出被受傷情緒紛擾的生命監窂，以愛化傷選擇饒恕，進而修復與人與神的關係，重新迎向聖經所應許的自由生命路徑，最後則透過對饒恕經驗的反思，重建人際關係的信心，並且促進靈命的增長，讓自己持續在生活中實踐信仰;促進基督徒饒恕因子為上帝的愛與饒恕、禱告中交托與轉化、聚會中團契相伴、聖經信仰的實踐、債務主權的放棄與交付。文末，研究者針對基督徒當事人的饒恕心理治療工作，以及基督徒心理師如何在饒恕議題上作信仰與諮商整合的實務工作等論題提出討論，期盼透過對基督徒饒恕之心理與靈性歷程的探討獲得更充足的實徵知識，以發展適合基督徒的饒恕心理治療工作模式，並讓基督宗教與靈性的介入可以重回心理治療的舞台。
